142. Now what could be better than a hot potpie on a snowy evening? My honey found a recipe in my current "Country Living" magazine, March 2010 issue on page 112, and suggested Chicken Potpie for dinner. While he cut up the veggies and prepared them, I made the crust and put it together. This was a very delicious recipe and one to make time and time again!
The filling was simple and I made my own pie crust recipe. You can find my recipe for pie crust on this post. I baked it in a 9"x13" glass dish and measured the top crust with the bottom of the pan. The recipe calls for a 12 inch cast-iron skillet.

Transfer skillet to oven; bake until crust is browned and flaky, about 35 minutes. Serve immediately.
